Sveriges Mästerskapet 2013

Sometime ago I git invited to act as a Shimpan (=referee) in Swedish Championships this year, and as a finnish living in Finland it was a nice honour. So travelled to Skellefteå on Friday to took part to welcome keiko and agree about the practical issue, and then did my work during the weekend.

The refereeing went fine, received good feedback from the main referee and local arranging the event seemed very happy. Nice weekend giving me fair amount of experience for this side of the kendo.
